1892: The Fox Farm House at Fox’s Corner, Where Foxes Ran in Foxhurst, Bronx » HoeAve2018
Richard Hoe, the inventor of the rotary press (aka lightning press), built his country estate, Brightside, on the northwest corner of present-day Hoe and Aldus streets, right about where the ball courts are in this aerial view. A long driveway led to the secluded property from what was then called Westchester Turnpike. Today the property is occupied by Printer’s Park, the old Loew’s Theatre, Chester Hall apartments, and other retail and apartment buildings.
